Mac Cloud Solutions for Building and Testing Your iOS Apps

Apple app development is a core revenue driver, but iOS development environments are often siloed, inefficient, and costly. This ebook explains how Mac cloud solutions, like MacStadium’s Orka, help enterprises accelerate iOS build and test processes while reducing risks and expenses.

Built for integration and scale

Your CI/CD pipelines depend on a wide toolchain—and Orka was designed to fit right in.

Seamless integrations with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Packer, CircleCI, and more.

K8s-native orchestration, gives you consistency and scalability across Mac environments.

Interoperability across clouds—run Orka on MacStadium private cloud, on-prem, or in AWS.

Build on Xcode

Your developers need Xcode running on genuine Apple hardware in order to develop software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. With MacStadium, provide your dev team with accessible, scalable, and reliable Mac resources in a cloud environment.

Deploy to the App Store

Automate the process of submitting apps to Apple’s App Store with tools like fastlane running on your MacStadium cloud. Set up an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline by adding release automation servers to your build infrastructure.

Multi-platform builds

We provide and have expertise in platforms that support iOS/macOS builds alongside non-Mac builds in the same environments. Pipelines for diverse teams with multiple language types can take advantage of services in our cloud that support both physical and virtual targets across the OS spectrum.

iOS simulator testing

Mobile app testing often involves iOS simulators that need to run on macOS instances on Apple hardware. Use MacStadium’s cloud infrastructure to run automated tests for different device sizes or iOS versions.

OS and browser compatibility

Mac apps typically need to support a broad range of OS versions. In addition, Safari is only available on macOS, so web developers need test machines to ensure their apps work great for Apple users.

QA environments

A MacStadium cloud provides QA teams with an easy way to test Mac apps in many different environments using pre-configured VMs with different versions of macOS, different OS settings, different apps running, etc.
